Hints and Notes Concerning the Latest
Novslties In Feminine Dress.

/
Novslties In Feminine Dress.
Low-throated dresses are very much
In vogue at the various watering places;
these showing Tapped surplico fronts,
or those finished with wide velvet re.
vers, which diminish to a sharp point
as they reach the waist. These revers
join wide sailor collar, which some-
times quite covers the upper portion Of
the shoulders in the back.
Summer polonaises are shown in var
ious fabrics-lace, net, etamine, veil
ing, batiste, etc., made in long prin-
cesse fashion, with Grecian drapings
which give graceful and slender effect
to the figure, or in the more bouffant
Marie Antoinette styles, with some-
times panier only at one side, and q
Vandyked tablier or decorated panel
on the other.
Full gathered corsages are seen in
diaphanous materials, both for basques
and polonaises, and there are also
tucked V-shaped pieces let in the front
and back, fastened to the dog-collar of
velvet or the one belonging TO the bod
ice. The new belted bodices of China
silk, embroidered muslin, China Grape
or surah are all worn with skirts of
lace or fancy etamine, mounted on
foundations of silk or batiste. These
skirts are very generally made of one
deep founce when of lace, this shirred
to belt, above which the huge sash is
tied.
Jersey waists are still greatly IA
vored, and are worn in all colors, but
harmonizing with the skirts with which
they are worn. The new summer jer-
seys are made of fabrics of a degree of
fineness they have never before at
tanned. Some of the jerseys are richly
embroidered in Oriental designs, others
are decorated with fine gold or silver
braidwork. The handsomely trimmed
Russian blouses are also made of the
silk-warp lightweight jersey cloth,
with Russian sash of the same knotted
at the left side, the long peplum ends
falling low on the dress skirt.
Pompadour-striped satins. in the
artistic tints of willow-green, pinkish
mauve, eglantine pink, pale primrose
cameo or terracotta, alternating with
one of gold or silver, brocaded with
tiny wreaths of brilliant-hued flowers
or large single clusters and foliage, are
favorite materials for dancing toilets
and midsummer weddings. These
handsome stripes are made up without
the addition Of any other fabric, the
skirts effectively draped across the
fronts, and made plain and full in the
back. The sleeves are short, and the
pointed corsages cut out in tho neck,
both frontand back, the opening yelled

or delicately embroidered in tints

More Profitable Than Cotton.

New York Mail and Express.
Rewards, aggregating $50, 1000, have
been offered for the past few years by
various foreign governments, partic-
ularly the English, French and Chi
nese to the man who could invent a
machine that would'spin ramie into
yarns. Ramie is often called Chinese
grass. 1t grows about four feet high.
1t is a perennial plant, and throws
out numerous stems as thick as the
little finger. The fibre of the inner
bark istheuseful portion and can bere-
moved when the stems are dried, the
bark peals off and leaves this fibrous
matter, which is very strong, in ap-
pearance greatly resembling silk.
For many years the Chinese have
been spinning this fibre and weaving
it by hand. 1t makes a, durable IA
brio, not unlike silk and linen in tex
ture. In France and England it is
used, to mix with and add stability to
silk. A Frenchman has recently in
vented a machine to take the place
of hand work. A large factory is
now being built on the Hudson Riv-
er, which will be used for this pur-
pose. After the yarns are made they
can be put on any loom and manu-
featured into all kinds of fabric. Ra-
ME in its raw state is impossible to
break by using any ordinary force.
When manufactured it can be used in
almost any material. Ramie was
first introduced into this country in
1867 in the Botanical Gardens al
Washington. 1t was grown in ia
maica in 1854. 1t is easier to raise
than cotton, three crops can be obtain.
ed each year. 1t can be raised from
seed. India, Egypt and China are
best suited for raising ramie. Itsell'
in the raw state at about Z cents :
pound or little cheaper than cotton
but more money can be made out Of
ramie, because it requires less atten
ton and realizes in larger quantities

It is well to Remember

That anxiety is easier to bear than
sorrow.
That good brains are often kept in
a poor looking vessel.
That an insect has feeling and an
atom q shadow.
That the most brilliant roses bloom
among the sharpest thorns.
That the time to bury Ratchet is
before blood is found upon it.
That no man is born in the world
whose work is not born with him.
That mistakes are often bought at a
big price and sold at small one.
That leisure is very pleasant gar
ment, but a bad onefor constant wear.
That it is often better to go a good
ways round than to take q short cut
across lots.
That men often preach from the
house tops while the devil is crawl
ing into the basement window.
That tears shed upon a coffin will
not blot out the stains that may have
been cast in life upon the stilled heart
within it.
That many man sets up a carriage
only to find less of enjoyment in ii
